Her long silver hair swayed and her silver dog ears flinched in the wind as she stood on the cliff, preparing for her death by her brother Inuyasha's hands, a single tear fell from her eye as she realized that he would purify her sins for her. Her eyes closed and she felt this warm light glowing within her, it was the soul of Kikyo reacting to her own decision, she felt emotions and heard a yell in the distance. It was so familiar, so…. Comforting to her that it was shocking, she opened her eyes and Kikyo was running towards her and Inuyasha. Her sword gave off a heartbeat effect and she drew it, the Idaina kōtei no Kōri Kiba, The Great Imperial Ice Fang. It was a lovely sword; she had the powers of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, the healing power, and the killing power plus her own ice powers. Even though Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were her brothers, she was engaged to her brother Sesshomaru because of her human blood, she could suppress his killing desires. Her name, Hyorinmaru, she was half demon, her father one of the most powerful demons ever, her mother a human, but she did not despise her own parents ancestry. She embraced it with her heart and eventually she became so powerful that her human blood was not to be taken lightly. She slashed Inuyasha with it and healed his wounds, slashed towards him releasing her barrier effect and she ran off, leaving behind only small trances of tears. Asking for forgiveness and as she ran through the thick, dense woods, she had realized that her fate was to save humanity from destruction. She shed a single tear once again and disappeared for 51 years. Hyorinmaru stood in her favorite sakura tree, she loved to gaze upon the villagers hustling around and relaxing, it brought peace to her heart.
"If only I could cleanse my sins for what I've done and live peacefully with humans. But there's no way they'll forgive me for what I've done to Kaede and Kikyo's village once Inuyasha had been pinned to that tree. But even if they resent me, I'll still try and help them whenever I can. That is if I can face them seriously and communicate my feelings to them." Hyorinmaru said as she leapt from the tree she was perched in and came to the big oak tree in which Kikyo had imprisoned Inuyasha on and the faint stain of her blood remained.
She was surprised when he wasn't there so she went looking for Kaede to ask her, she no longer cared if Kaede hated her, and she would ask her help even if it cost her life. She ran down the hill silently and came before two men dragging a cart around, they had but one glance at her and they were shaking in their shoes, she sighed and asked where Kaede could be found in her calm and serene voice. They told her and asked why such a powerful Hanyou like she would be looking for Kaede but she ran off before they could ask more questions. Hyorinmaru wanted answers, and wanted them now, so she found Kaede quickly, she opened the door to the hut and revealed herself to the people inside. She saw Kaede tending to Inuyasha's wounds, Kikyo, a small fox demon child, a demon slayer, a small two-tailed cat, and a perverted monk inside all casual and friendly. She was in shock, Kikyo was alive, but she died 51 years ago when she imprisoned Inuyasha to a tree to protect the villagers. She looked at Kaede and had a look of pain and unforgiving hatred; she gritted her teeth and softened a little when she saw Inuyasha's severe wounds. Old lady Kaede looked at her and gasped her name, she stuttered asking how she was alive, but Hyorinmaru squinted her eyes in disgust and stepped in, facing Kikyo squarely. She grabbed the front of the strange shirt she was wearing and asked in a low, cold voice why she was alive and Kikyo, or the look lookalike rouge, answered with a scared what. She smirked and threw her down onto the ground and turned to Inuyasha, calmly, coldly, and hatefully just like she had in the days when she and Inuyasha were enemies right before their mother had been murdered.
"Brother, what have you done to get in this condition, have you been playing with the humans who kicked your butt over 50 years ago? Or have you gotten bullied by stronger demons such as brother Sesshomaru has always done in the past?" She spat coldly to him as he remembered her and gritted his teeth in anger at her words, she smiled devilishly and then the door opened and a hand went on her shoulder, she turned and saw Kasaisutairu, her protector whom was a beautiful young man and a full demon, standing there.
"Hyorinmaru that's enough, no need to cause conflict with your little brother right after you've awakened, he'll get it soon enough, but you really should return home and rest in the shrine more before you traumatize him until he's a useless and troublesome little brother. Please, Lady Hyorinmaru." Kasaisutairu said calmly but with plea and love in his eyes, she made a Che sound and left the village without having the chance to ask Kaede anything.
"You fucking bastard, why did you help me, you could've let me have a swing at her. I don't need you so go away, since you're the protector of her." Inuyasha said angrily, and pouting to the man before him, Kasaisutairu sighed and left silently without saying another word and caught up to Hyorinmaru at the sacred tree in which Inuyasha's and Hyorinmaru's powers were sealed in.
Hyorinmaru looked out upon the village once again before she fled to the place in which Sesshomaru's mother lived, she ran for 3 days and 3 nights, she finally arrived at her house and collapsed under a Sakura tree. She slept soundly and when she awoke she was in a great big room, gold and white all over and little dashes of crescent moons here and there. She sat up suddenly and started falling, suddenly someone caught her and she looked up into his eyes. Such lovely Golden eyes, and long, flowing silver hair, she closed her eyes again and saw his face now, and it was her brother and fiancé Sesshomaru. He looked displeased to see her and she let go of him, sat up straight and before she could say a word he beat her to it.
"The answers no, no matter what, it's still no. I will not help you ask questions to Kaede, its pointless now, so just come back to the demon realm and forget about Inuyasha. Hyorinmaru I'm telling you to stay here and leave Inuyasha to me, alright?" He asked, she closed her eyes and answered coldly and gracefully.
"No brother, I am not leaving him to you, there is questions I must ask him and Kaede, and that girl whom looks so much like Kikyo." She answered and then got up and left to ask a favor of his mother.
She found her in her throne room, Hyorinmaru knelt down and looked up at her, she looked exactly like Sesshomaru, and she smiled and spoke slowly and calmly to her, as not to anger her. She finished her explanation and she was given two days to bring the girl whom looked like Kikyo to Sesshomaru's mother. She accepted it and set off without delay to bring the girl to her, Hyorinmaru was spacing out when and ran into someone and she had fallen from a great height to the ground. It hurt but not as badly as when she was human and fell from the top of a cliff that was too high to see, luckily she caught on roots and stone edges to slow her speed down. She opened her eyes and all she saw was silver hair, golden eyes, and the red jacket and pants of a rat demon. She closed her eyes and subjected to the pain, she soon later awoke in a small hut and saw a girl with a white shirt, a short green skirt, and long black hair. She immediately sat up and successfully fell backwards due to the pain in her abdomen; she looked down and saw bandages over her chest and stomach with blood stains. Hyorinmaru turned to the girl and, for a brief moment, saw Kikyo, she blinked and shook her head and looked back at the girl, and it was that girl from before, the Kikyo look alike. She stared at her with shock and she looked away from her, she couldn't dare think of taking her to Sesshomaru's mother any time soon. Hyorinmaru sat up slowly this time and looked around the rest of the hut, she saw the very same people she had in Kaede's hut, the monk, the demon slayer, a small two-tailed cat, the fox demon child, Inuyasha, and finally old lady Kaede was there tending to Inuyasha's wounds again.
"You know, if you try to hurt Kagome I'll personally kill you, got that? So why are you here, again, Hyorinmaru?" Inuyasha spat with great anger and protectiveness.
"You fool, I'd never hurt a human, you know that, it's father's will to be kind and compassionate towards mortals, personally I think Sesshomaru needs to learn how accept the fact that he's the brother of two Hanyou, and he needs to learn to accept the fact that the human child with him can and will change him." She said calmly and with sadness and pain in her eyes.
"That's enough you two, settle down. Kagome doesn't need any more shock than she already has, so leave her be and return to your home once your wounds are healed, Hyorinmaru." Kaede said calmly and with her old woman's voice, Hyorinmaru looked down ashamed and sad as Kaede redressed her wounds with new bandages.
